This EP found its way into the word via a great viral video of a jarring way to wake up in the morning.

OK I think the pun here is that normally Huckleberry Finn has Two N's, whereas this band has one making them sea creatures. I don't know a whole lot about these guys, other than that they seem to have been playing shows around NY state for one or two years now. They've got the full range of purchasing options available: LP, Cassette, CD, and digital download. You can any of those from their bandcamp page.
The Tiki Creeps' debut last year was definitely a standout, so I'm glad they've kept that momentum up by releasing a followup. They haven't shaken up the formula much: a solid mix of cool low-tempo numbers (perhaps the tiki part of their name) and a few with the guitars howlin'. "Ride Creeps Ride" is actually a bit of a twistin' number, something missing from their last one.
the starfires - Somethin' Else (surf guitars rumble)
the revomatics - hot rod strut (we come in peace)
los javelin - la bronka club (surfabilly & roll)
danny & the demons - Countdown (strummin mental part three)
huaraches - a fast one (the huaraches ride)
the chantays - blunderbus (pipeline)
the centurions - body surfin' (Bullwinkle Part II)
bob vaught and the renegaids - makaha (surf crazy)
the del-vettes - ram charger (pebbles vol 4)
the rangers - Ghost Riders In The Sky - 45
the fabulous wailers - snake pit (the crest masters)
Ever since they released the video for Tunak Tunak Tun on Youtube over a year ago, I've been getting more and more excited for the release of The Tomorrowmen's new album. Looks like tomorrow became today hur hur. Their Double Crown Records debut "It's About Time" was the exactly the sort of forward-thinking brand of instro that keeps this genre alive. It's immediately apparently that that spirit was kept intact on Futourism, and that a tremendous amount of thought and love was poured into this.
